A Study of Numerical Taxonomy and Group Divergence in Seven Endogamous Groups of Assam
Anthropometric characters of seven endogamous groups, namely, the Muslim. Brahmin. Kalita. Kaibarta. Kumar. Jogi and Hira of Assam have been examined to study the numerical taxonomy and group divergence using the methodology of Penrose (1947, 1954) and Rao (1952). The study reveals three distinct clusters. Out of seven groups, the Brahmin and Muslim independently form two clustres i.e. B and C respectively. whereas the rest i.e. the non-Brahmin H…
Physical anthropology, peace and justice
Human biological well being is a concern of physical anthropology. Genetic determinants and also sociocultural factors, which operate through biological bases, affect human biological quality. Several populations from different parts of the globe have been identified where varieties of detrimental genes occur in considerable numbers influencing health and some other related biological aspects of human life. Injustice will be done to those populat…
A Study of Numerical Taxonomy and Group Divergence in Five Mangoloid Population Groups of Assam
Anthropometric characters of five Mongoloid populations, namely, the Ahom. Chutia, Deuri, Mishing and Moran of Upper Assam have been examined to study the numerical taxonomy and group divergence using the methodology of Penrose (1947. 1954) and Rao (1952), The study reveals three distinct clusters. viz., cluster II: formed by the Deuri and Chutia, cluster II: formed by the Mishing and Moran and cluster HI: formed by the Ahom alone. It appears tha…
Anthropological studies in Assam, India. 7. Socio-biological observations on Assamese population
Three population groups of Assam, viz., the Hindus, Muslims and Mongoloids have been investigated for certain bio-social variables, e.g., size and composition of family, sex distribution, menarcheal age, age at marriage, marriage distance, conception, pregnancy wastage and fertility. The results are discussed on comparative basis, and attempts are made to offer possible reasons for differences.
Anthropological studies in Assam, India. 6. Differentiation processes among Assamese populations
In 1978-79 13 Assamese populations--two Muslim groups, five Mongoloid groups and 6 Hindu caste groups--have been investigated for the distribution of anthropometric, anthroposcopic and dermatoglyphic traits as well as for the distribution of ABO blood groups and PTC taste sensitivity. Except for finger ridge patterns all traits under investigation showed a marked intergroup variability. For anthropometric, anthroposcopic and dermatoglyphic traits…
Genetic variation of five blood group polymorphisms in ten populations of Assam, India
Six Mongoloid and four Caucasoid populations of Assam, India, were examined for A1A2BO, Rhesus, Duffy and Diego blood groups. The distribution of their phenotypes and allele frequencies are presented. In the perspective of the ethnographic background, the results have been discussed in terms of genetic variability among these populations and probable reasons for its existence. The major groups, namely Caucasoids and Mongoloids, appear to form two…
